This year’s competition is fierce, therefore many races will be extremely close and several jumps and throws hotly contested. Frankly there are too many to list here, so included below are only the best of the best. Please do yourself a favor and try and watch as much as you can, because there’s bound to be a surprise in nearly every event. That’s the beauty of the U.S. trials.
A quick note: the following events were chosen based on a combination of how close the results are expected to be and the level of competition involved. Some events, like the men’s short and long hurdles with Grant Holloway and Rai Benjamin, may have strong enough favorites that they happen to play out exactly they way the rankings showed they would. Still highly doubtful that happens and, again, it doesn’t mean those events won’t be worth watching. All are worthy.
